How else can a guy get to stand closer to the best rx8 driving girl
The photo person said I wouldn't fit in the photo if I stood on the drivers side
Great 8 day out with the gang

Hey, and maybe some of those gold shorts like Kylie's?

Great weather day (for Melbourne remember)

Sunny morning /lunch

Darkness fall
All home smiling (apart from 1 poor soul with 1 demerit and $138 lighter in the wallet ) BUGGER

I was a little tired when I finally got home. Sat down and watched the DVD atridge gave me of our Sandown trackday and am now all fired up to go back out driving!

After watching all the 8's on the road around me today I have decided that black looks the best on the road but yellow gets by far the most attention by people on the side of the road. Blue gets a bit lost amongst all these colours but stands out and looks the most sophisticated parked among other cars.

I don't think the sunroof tilted will give more down force

Looks like you guys had a fun time, sorry bout the decals, but in my defence andrew ordered them on the 10th I shipped the morning of the 11th. I did the best I could without having andrew pay an extra 45.00 for overnight, sorry again.

Polak, I am REALLY Sorry, that post wasn't meant to be a slight on you, I was just frustrated that I hadn't heard from you. As I said in my post in your forum, bad news is better than no news.

Anyway, what amazes me the most in all this, is that I can get a normal envelope posted from Melbourne to Boston in 3 days, but courier companies cant take less than 4! Its all a ploy to stitch you for 45$ for overnight!

Damn... That's some serious body roll 'lexic' had there. Someone was having a lot of fun it looks.

And the 'Big Brass *****' award goes to both Taka and Xatnep for kneeling on the road mid corner as crazy people in 8's (that would be me too) decided to show how fast we could go through those corners!

Actually lexic drove the hardest while MissRX8 cruised passed my lens :p

I did not get everyone since you guys are so close together that my fast CF card could not keep up!

I really need a Canon D1-S with more RAM and an EXTREME compact flash to keep up with you lot.

I am happy with the results.

Nice photo's fellas!

Looks like you had a top day.

Taka, forget the Canon. Treat yourself to a Nikon D70

Cheers,
Hymee.
